Description: Just three miles south of bustling Brentwood, yet surrounded by woodlands and fields in the unspoilt village of Herongate, The Boar's Head is a Grade II listed country pub overlooking the village pond close to Button Common. It started life as three Tudor cottages and first became licensed premises in the 18th century. Herongate is an attractive Essex village in a proposed conservation area, once part of the Heron Hall Estate owned by one of the county's most influential and ancient families, the Tyrells.

The evening was cold and wet, but the pub was lovely and cozy. Needed to book and tables don’t have lots of space, but very charming. We had the daily special offer which was good value and was steak. We did have to ask for this though as we weren’t initially told of the offer. This was well cooked and will definitely order again. Not worth paying for the upgraded steak though. The prawn cocktail was very average and the scallops ok. Staff were friendly and helpful.

Me and my partner was looking for a quick place to book a meal and as we had our dog it had to be dog friendly. I phoned up and we had a table booked in no time.When we arrived we was welcomed by a very polite lady that pointed us towards our table that already had some.treats and a bowl of water waiting for our dog (nice touch) Overall the meal was delicious but a little overpriced for a vegetable salad (£12). But all in all with the nice little touches it was a great experience and we will deffentely visit again .
